X-Ray Fluorescence Laboratory
The X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) Laboratory is part of the Instrumentation Unit, which belongs to the Physics, Chemistry, and Instrumentation Laboratory (PCI) of the IAEA Laboratories (NAAL), Seibersdorf, Austria. The main tasks carried out by the XRF Lab are focused on provision of training in XRF analysis, direct technical support to the laboratories in Member States, cooperation through bilateral agreements with other XRF groups, extension of the applicability range and improvements in accuracy, and precision of the XRF techniques. The XRF Laboratory provides also routine analytical services to other Units of the IAEA Laboratories, supports development of compact/portable XRF spectrometers and data analysis software/hardware for XRF systems. The Laboratory directly cooperates with other research/developer groups and users of X-ray spectrometric methods in the Agency Member States.
